About this show

CJ The X, an artist and philosopher from Toronto, made their name through video essays on YouTube, weaving together academic philosophy and pop culture in their signature chaotic style. Their comedy-philosophy live lectures are highly researched deep dives into a wide array of subjects, from figure skating controversies, to rap beefs, disputes in Christian theology, internet meme lore and the financial records of Silicon Valley. Every lecture is entirely different from the rest. 7 shows, 7 unique performances. Each is distinct, but all work together to build a coherent set of ideas.
